CBSE Class 12 Political Science Analysis: ‘Moderately-designed’ paper, NCERT-based

“The critical thinking-based questions in the paper needed a thorough study and understanding of the topics and chapters,” said Tanya, PGT political science at Bhai Parmanand Vidya Mandir.

As per students and experts, section-wise difficulty level, section A (MCQ) had tricky one mark questions and section B and C with two marks and four marks questions respectively were conceptual in nature. Section D and E were of moderate difficulty level. 

The question paper was moderately designed with questions to analyse the student’s conceptual understanding. 

Experts also observed that the political science questions were from the CBSE-prescribed syllabus and were entirely based on the pattern of the latest sample paper issued by the board, expert added. 

According to Alka Kapur, Principal Modern Public School, Shalimar Bagh, the exam had an extensive range of question types, enabling a thorough evaluation of comprehension and application.

A student of the same school, Saumya Goel, said: “The questions looked difficult at first, but after giving them some thought, I realized they were well-written. Even though the exam was slightly lengthy and certain of the questions required more consideration, it was eventually manageable with focused effort. Some of the topics required further thought and some of the multiple-choice questions presented difficult situations. Nonetheless, the overall experience of attempting the exam was satisfactory.”
